I tried to read it, but didn't get that far.There was lots of Chinese history in it which got a bit confusing for me. There were some stories about conflicts and how the strategies used helped to win. But that's as much as I can remember I'm afraid.Shen

The book is an ancient stratedgy guide compiled by the General of China at the time Sun Tzu and all of the nobles in northern China at the time it basicly explains in the clearest way possible how you should react to any form of conflict by describing the conflict in the form of a battle his army would face like ratio's of whether or not he should attack an army which is twice the size of his own etc it is my favourouite book but you must get a good copy of it to understand it well id advise buying the verion of it published by Shambala, if you have anymore specific questions just post and ill try to explain

There are different forms of this book. I read this book in verse and I believe thats how Sun Tzu wrote it. There are other forms of the book showing examples of the battle tactics. Also theres a book called "Mastering the Art of War" by Zhuge Liang, I haven't read it though.
